F1 2021

Think the last time they had a proper one of these was Schumacher on Hill back in the 90's.

There's obviously always controversy drivers will always crash but I don't think we've had something pre meditated since the Schumacher incident.

Max is doing things that suggest he's willing to go to that level to win he's watched his lead slip away and he's trying dirty tricks. I can only assume he's not been given a bigger punishment because the stewards have had to accept they didn't get the message to Mercedes fast enough for them to tell Hamilton.

Max slowed down to let him past but Hamilton didn't know what was going on but still there was no reason for Max to hit the breaks if Hamilton wasn't coming past he surely has to speed up?
 
I don't think it is too much advantage Max though. Absolutely race on Tomo.

Redbull have to two stop tomorrow. Hamilton will be the tyre whisperer. Merc may not see the softs tomorrow. Run Medium/Hard and one stop whilst Red Bull to soft medium soft.
 
Great start.

Stewards staying out of it.

Max needs to start turning into corners can see why they didn’t get involved
 
Bet Lewis wishes he had a team mate that could help him out like that.
 
Max now looking to get within ramming distance.
 
Rather try to hold him off than chase him down the red bull hasn’t been super fast on the hard tyres.
 
What are they playing at?

That’s a full on stitch up how can you change your mind at the very last minute to benefit a driver in second place.

Mercedes and Hamilton will be fuming.
 
Not sure it's a stitch up, they just cleared the accident up. Seems harsh on Lewis to lose after leading for so long but I don't think anything fishy happened.
Mercedes should have pitted at the first safety. They had the speed to retake the lead.
 
That's a disgrace and a fix. Hamilton should give them the V and walk away. What an utter shambles and a six
 
One of many world championships for Verstappen you would say. Been a really exciting title race but good to see the young man win it.

They’ve changed the procedure for a restart to create a 1 lap shoot out knowing it gave the car in second place a huge advantage. I don’t think you should be manipulating the rules for the sake of entertainment otherwise it’s not a sport it’s entertainment.

If you release the lapped cars then you surely release all of them not just the first 5. If you release the cars you let them all through which probably means no final lap shoot out.

Max gained a massive advantage from the safety car changed his tyres and had all the traffic cleared to give him 1 lap at Hamilton who had a 10 second advantage prior to the accident.
 
It's just bad luck for Lewis, safety car screwed him. I don't see any problem with the rules

It is horrible luck for Lewis he run the perfect race but the rules haven’t been followed.

Red Bull played their hand very well but they needed a huge slice of luck and a race controller who didn’t follow the rules to get the win.

I assume Mercedes aren’t able to appeal but it will be very interesting to see what they have to say when they come in front of the cameras. Lewis was very diplomatic at the end but I guess he will have something to say at a later date.

Yeah I'm not sure how an appeal would work? As there's no way for them to redo the event.
 
No way is the result being changed, that would be even more farcical
